A rugged moorland track leads downhill between blooming heather on the left and a dry stone wall on the right, topped with wire fencing. Overhead, electricity pylons and cables stretch into the distance. Beyond the moor, the view opens to a broad green valley with rolling hills under a sky filled with a mix of sunlit and shadowed clouds.

A sweeping view looking west across Lower Swineshaw reservoir, cradled between Hobson Moor and the surrounding upland hills. The dark green band of woodland conceals Brushes and Walkerwood reservoirs. Rolling moorland slopes rise to either side, dotted with electricity pylons and crisscrossed by winding trails. In the far distance, the Manchester skyline stands faintly against a backdrop of low clouds and a bright summer sky.

A wooden stile and farm gate set in a traditional dry-stone wall mark the boundary between two upland fields near Lower Swineshaw reservoir. Beyond, looking back at rolling moorland stretches towards the rounded hill of Wildbank, visible under a bright summer sky scattered with cumulus clouds. The foreground shows uneven stone steps and tufts of grass leading up to the stile.

Three sheep graze and stand alert in a grassy upland pasture beside Lower Swineshaw reservoir. One sheep faces the camera directly, while the others feed with heads lowered. A traditional dry-stone wall runs behind them, with rolling moorland visible in the distance beneath a dramatic sky filled with layered cumulus clouds.

A grassy moorland path descends towards Lower Swineshaw reservoir, bordered by traditional dry-stone walls and wooden gates. The surrounding upland scenery features rolling green pasture, patches of brown heather moorland, and scattered pylons stretching across the horizon. The reservoir lies nestled in a shallow valley, with the higher Pennine hills and Saddleworth Moor forming the distant backdrop under a sky of bright blue and scattered cumulus clouds.

Panoramic view westwards from Swineshaw across the Tameside area, with the town of Stalybridge visible in the valley between Hobson Moor on the left and the Brushes hillside on the right. The slopes are a patchwork of green pasture, heather moorland, and wooded areas. In the far distance, the urban sprawl of Greater Manchester stretches towards the horizon under a vivid blue sky with scattered cumulus clouds.

View downhill and northwards from the moorland path towards Swineshaw, with Lower Swineshaw Reservoir clearly visible and the depleted Higher Swineshaw Reservoir beyond it. The rolling hills are covered in summer grasses and patches of blooming purple heather (Calluna vulgaris), with a lone walker on the track. The distant slopes of the Pennines are dappled in sunlight and shadow under a partly cloudy sky.

Walkers are Welcome Town - Todmorden

This is a very varied terrain – small towns and villages nestling in the lower wooded valleys; a middle ‘shelf’ of ancient small farms, and the original hamlets; moorland dotted with reservoirs with splendid views across the Pennine hills. We are a welcoming people with a long history of walking.
